六類空行母讚
陳健民
敬禮 六類空行母前
勝義光明母， 無間靡遺現，
須臾不離， 任誰具本面。中央者
智慧金剛母， 離斷自澄清，
意態嫻雅， 生法本現成。東方者
解脫事業母， 無畏若火燄，
襲掠魔心， 盡性無拘檢。北方者
大樂蓮花母， 空房顯智喜，
色舞眉飛， 春風育桃李。西方者
莊嚴寶生母， 富麗孰比肩！
光彩奪魄， 摩尼在心田。南方者
世間空行母， 不動法本位，
蓮出污泥， 隨欲現嫵媚。世間者
秋高無雲空， 孰能體此意？
纔得偎親， 便登普賢位。中
平淡嫌粉飾， 裸體絕綺練，
視線甫交， 鏡影如相戀。東
當體無情面， 直下斬其全，
殺活同時， 無所逃於天。北
何分古與今？ 何分昏與明？
迷人醒人， 終古長依卿。西
風月無盡藏， 貴賤咸瞻仰，
袖裡乾坤， 心花長自賞。南
玉骨而冰肌， 月貌襯雲裳，
空樂不遷， 長為大事忙。世
懷寶行乞孩， 狐掘而狐埋，
何日云已， 誓語其憶起。中
日用不能知， 歸而有餘師，
坦道莫履， 誓語其憶起。東
如扶醉人然， 東西各自偏，
失之當體， 誓語其憶起。北
狗骨味自血， 空樂不相契，
墮入霧裡， 誓語其憶起。西
買櫝而還珣， 反裘而負薪，
昧平等理， 誓語其憶起。南
開發蓮花藏， 身供殊大方，
宏願貫耳， 誓語其憶起。世
本覺自明境， 處囊如脫穎，
鞭辟入裡， 誓語其憶起。中
無修離冀疑， 平常不希奇，
就在者裡， 誓語其憶起。東
貪瞋癡慢疑， 體用不分歧，
活脫在理， 誓語其憶起。北
色聲香味觸， 一體五妙欲，
心空及矣， 誓語其憶起。西
寶光如虹霞， 平等性為家，
充滿法喜， 誓語其憶起。南
今之勒古媽， 與移喜磋嘉，
蒞此蒞此， 誓語其憶起。世
今之長壽女， 如作密勒侶，
有以有以， 誓語其憶起。世
辛巳五月廿五造於西康鑪霍關房中，夢阿松媽表示護持，并謂最喜「春風育桃李」一句。右頌每句各十九字，乃倣龍樹菩薩讚四臂大黑天格式。
Praise to Six Classes of Dakinis
Written in Chinese by Guru C. M. Chen
Translated by His Disciple Yutang Lin
Veneration in the presence of Six Classes of Dakinis!
Supreme Significance Brightness Dakinis,
Incessantly without disappearance,
Inseparable for even a blink
From anyone who attained the original face. (Central Class)
Wisdom Vajra Dakinis,
Without interruption, naturally and thoroughly clear,
Attitude and postures graceful and sublime,
Creating things that are originally ready-made. (Eastern Class)
Liberation Karma Dakinis,
Fearless as burning flames,
Attack by surprise to strip devil's mind,
Act freely at will without bondage or care. (Northern Class)
Supreme Pleasure Lotus Dakinis,
In Sunyata room reveals Wisdom bliss,
Dancing countenance with flying brows,
Spring wind cultivates peaches and plums (in Chinese a way to refer to disciples). (Western Class)
Grandeur Jewel Dakinis,
Rich and splendor without peers,
Radiance bewildering,
Wish-fulfilling Gem in the Mind. (Southern Class)
Amid-worldlings Dakinis,
Without leaving the original station of things,
Lotus emerged from mire,
Revealing grace as desires flow. (Worldly Class)
High and cloudless autumn sky,
Who could realize its significance?
As soon as intimacy allowed,
One attains Adi Buddha realm. (Central Class)
Plain and light, avoiding cosmetics,
Naked without any ornaments,
As eyes just contacted,
Mutual affection arose as seeing mirror images. (Eastern Class)
As it is, without superficial considerations,
Directly cut it off in its entirety,
Killing and resurrecting simultaneously,
There is no escape from the Heaven. (Northern Class)
Why distinguish between ancient and present?
Why distinguish between confused and clear?
Deluded ones as well as awakened ones,
From ancient time always relied on your companionship. (Western Class)
Boundless storage of wind and moon (romantic affairs),
Nobility as well as lowborn, all look up to,
The affairs within one's sleeves (domain of privacy),
Blossom of Mind is always adored by one. (Southern Class)
Jade bone and icy flesh (shiny and smooth skin),
Moon-like countenance accompanied by colorful-cloud garment,
Sunyata Bliss without recess,
Constantly busy for the great activities. (Worldly Class)
A child carrying a gem to go begging,
What dug up by a fox again buried by the fox,
When will one say, "that is enough"?
You should remember your vows! (Central Class)
Used daily without comprehending it,
Returned and then found something to learn from,
Do not walk on the even path,
You should remember your vows! (Eastern Class)
Just as supporting a drunken person,
East or west is leaning sidewise in each case,
Fail to be right at the spot,
You should remember your vows! (Northern Class)
As a dog biting a bone to taste only its own blood,
Sunyata and pleasures do not match,
Fallen amid fogs,
You should remember your vows! (Western Class)
Bought a wooden box and yet returned the jade inside,
Turn a leather-coat inside out to carry firewood,
Being ignorant of equality of all matters,
You should remember your vows! (Southern Class)
Developing the Lotus Treasure,
Extraordinarily generous to make the body-offering,
Grand vows like thunders to ears,
You should remember your vows! (Worldly Class)
Innate awareness, state of self-illumination,
Even inside a bag it reveals itself like the tip of a knife,
Striving to reach the most profound,
You should remember your vows! (Central Class)
Without practice, free from expectation and suspicion,
Ordinary, without any peculiarity,
It is right here,
You should remember your vows! (Eastern Class)
Greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance and suspicion,
Entity and uses are not in disarray,
Lively escape according to original nature,
You should remember your vows! (Northern Class)
Shape, sound, smell, taste and touch,
Five wondrous desires of one entity,
Mind in Sunyata had attained it,
You should remember your vows! (Western Class)
Gem lights like rainbows and sun-lit clouds,
Equanimity as home,
Fulfilled with Dharma joy,
You should remember your vows! (Southern Class)
The Niguma of nowadays
And the Yeshe Tsogyal of late,
Arrive here, arrive here!
You should remember your vows! (Worldly Class)
The Longevity Dakinis of modern time,
Just as you attended Milarepa as his consorts,
Come into being, come into being!
You should remember your vows! (Worldly Class)
Composed in the retreat hut at Lu Huo, Xi Kang on lunar 25 th of May in the year Xin Si (1941). In a dream the protectress A Song Ma expressed her support for this work, and said that she liked the sentence, "spring wind cultivates peaches and plums," the best. In this praise each sentence consisted of nineteen characters, following the style of the praise in honor of the Four-arm Mahakala as composed by Nagarjuna.
